PS ...On the main forum/ group home page you have the links for Crossfire website and Crossfire International forum switched.
CROSSFIRE WEBSITE opens Crossfire International and XFi INTERNATIONAL FORUM opens Crossfire website.

Valk, I checked all my links and they all go to the correct location, so I don't know what's happening.

I think I corrected what may have been confusing; duplicate use of the letter i and the word international.
XFi International Forum (Linked to the forum) has been changed to:
XFi Forum (Still linked to the forum}.
I'm I on the right track?

I still think of the forum as just www.crossfireforum.org and not international or XFI. The XFI part is a forum within the forum.
It all becomes a little confusing especially if you are a newer member.

I see your point that it can get confusing for new members. The idea is to promote and get people to join XFi thru either the forum or the new website. You can also do that by putting a link to the forum on your personal CarDomain page. Take a look in the left column of my page under Favorite Links.

What's the status on the 'hard hat' areas?
Also, I think someone mentioned before - it would be nice if the intro led you right to the homepage after it's finale.
Not trying to ruffle feathers, just curious. I, among many others, truly appreciate your work on the site.

1. Image transitions – I think these could be made more fun and cutting edge as our cars are. Knowing how cool these cars are I think a more mainstream or "Web 2.0" look would really wake up the site.
2. Navigation buttons – The first time you visit the homepage the load is neat seeing them fall into place, however once I go to another link and then decide to go back the buttons should already be there ready for me. In other words the buttons should only load once.
3. Typefaces – These can use a more modern touch as well. A cool sans serif font would work well with the style of the car. If you wanted to go a step up I would even suggest searching for a cool art deco font to really bring the character of the car into the site design.
4. Under Construction graphics – I realize these are temporary but again the hardhat, the way the type comes in & the font are all dated.
5. Image resolution/sizing – Again as Mike noted this is a huge area where a site can fall short. Seeing an image that is distorted or is too low of a resolution doesn't lend well to a visitor's experience.

Links to external websites should also be targeted to open in a new window. This makes for a better way for users to navigate around.

Re: www.crossfireinternational.com
So then...
Comrades...would be Russian...
And Friends or Folks...might mean Gay...
People...
And Associates...
And...???
Think there weren't HUMANS across time that were driven together with a common bond THAT DIDN'T TRY TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT!!!
Don't read into it. If it offends you...Don't be so sensitive!
Everything does not need to be Transparent!!!
